EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the late 19th or early 20th century, depicts a scene of historical significance from the former capital city of Rangoon (now Yangon), Myanmar (formerly Burma). The image showcases the labor-intensive process of transporting teak logs using elephants and a steamship. In the foreground, several elephants, their powerful bodies adorned with intricate decorative patterns, are carefully maneuvering massive teak logs towards the waiting steamship. The logs, sourced from the rich forests of Myanmar, were a valuable commodity during this period due to their high demand in Europe for shipbuilding and furniture production. The teak logs are lifted and loaded onto the steamship using a large crane, which towers above the scene. The steamship, with its impressive smokestacks billowing out plumes of steam, is a testament to the technological advancements of the time. The steamship's presence in Rangoon's waters was a symbol of the growing global trade connections between Myanmar and the rest of the world. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on the history of Myanmar's teak industry and the role that elephants played in its development. The image also highlights the hard work and dedication of the local laborers, who played a crucial role in the transportation of these valuable resources.
